Search from Course Switcher

We’ve enhanced the Course Switcher in Blackboard Ultra Course View to make it faster and easier to move between courses. Users can now search for a course directly from the Course Switcher and navigate to it without first returning to the Courses page.

New Group Management Experience

Groups management has been redesigned to improve usability, performance, and consistency, making it faster and easier for instructors to create, organize, and manage groups—especially in large courses. The new experience reduces manual effort with clearer enrollment options, better sorting and visibility, and significantly improved reliability at scale.

Instructors now start by choosing how they want to structure groups—before managing individual members. The options include:

  • manual assignment
  • automatic assignment
  • self‑enrollment
  • import

View Inherited Parent Release Conditions inside Learning Modules and Folders

When adding release conditions on items inside a Learning Module or Folder, you will now see the release condition(s) that are already set on the higher level.

This is an example of how it works:

  1. On the Learning Module called Welcome & Helpful Links, the release condition is set to display the Learning Module from a specific date.
  2. When you then want to set a release condition on another Item inside the Learning Module, it will reflect the higher level's release condition that is inherited.

Release_condition_LM

  1. To view the inherited conditions you need to click on the down arrow:

Release_condition_inherited1

  1. This is what it will look like:
    Release_condition_rule_names
Naming the release condition rules

From the above image please note the importance of adding a descriptive name for the rule and not just keep the Rule 1 or Rule 2 default name.
